New Moi University council inaugurated as Education CS expresses optimism

The CS said the government took the bold decision to fire the old council that had led to the poor management of Moi University.

Ogamba reiterated that the move will ensure order and normal learning in the university after long period of instability due to governance and leadership issues that had plunged the institution into despondency.

He cautioned the administration of laxity, saying the government is determined to make painful decisions to spur high institutions of learning in the country to provide quality education.

Higher Education Principal Secretary Dr. Beatrice Inyangala assured the staff of full implementation of the return - to - work formula.

She said the students have suffered for too long due to disruption of learning activities.

In a gazette notice on January 17, the Ministry of Education appointed Prof. Noah Midamba as the new Chairperson of the Moi University Council. 

Midamba will serve alongside Prof. Ronald Wasike, Dr. Mercy Nyambura Kanyara, Dr. Edward Sambili and Anne Weceke Makori.
